"(The story of) the fiery Arabian stallion of unquenchable spirit who became one of the most famous horses of all time - the almost legendary Godolphin Arabian. He was names 'Sham' for the sun, this golden-red stallion born in the great stone stables of the Sultan of Morocco. Upon his heel was the white spot - symbol of speed; but upon his chest was the mark of the wheat ear - a sign of misfortune. And these two signs seemed to govern his life.

Swift he was, swift as the wind, but time after time disaster almost overtook him. Beginning at the Sultan's court, the story sweeps across France and then into England, one exciting incident following fast upon another with the changing fortunes of the royal-blooded horse and the slim brown horseboy who cares for him."

Bookseller Inventory # 072799 King of the Wind: Marguerite Henry, Josef Hozak, Wesley Dennis: 9780590030502: Amazon.com: Books By Nonesuch Explorers on July 21, 2003 Format: Hardcover Marguerite Henry took great license in telling the story of the Godolphin Arabian, but it's likely there were two reasons she did so; first, because she based the majority of her novel on heavily romanticised reports like that which appeared in Western Horseman in 1949; second, to illustrate to young children what could happen to perfectly good horses that were considered worthless because of prejudice or unwillingness to see what was there. The real Sham was born in Tunis and given by the Bey of Tunis to King Louis XV with a group of other horses. But there's no evidence that he was reduced to pulling a cart in the Paris streets before rescue by Edward Coke. Coke probably got him from the Duke of Lorraine, who'd gotten him from the King.

A contemporary described Sham as "beautiful but half-starved", so the rough sea voyage with the greedy officers and crew is likely true, even if the cart-horse story is not. He also said that Sham (he spelled it Shami, and other accounts have "Scham") was temperamental and generally disliked by the stable hands. A vet who cared for Sham in his last years said he was built to sire champions: "his shoulders were deeper, and lay farther into his back, than those of any horse ever yet seen. Behind the shoulders, there was but a very small space ere the muscles of his loins rose exceedingly high, broad, and expanded, which were inserted into his hindquarters with greater strength and power than in any horse I believe ever yet seen of his dimensions, viz fifteen hands high." Agba was real; there are portraits of the little horse with a handsome dark-skinned young man in flowing Arab dress and turban. Whether or not he was mute is debatable. Again, many of the later accounts have been greatly romanticised. But Grimalkin the stable cat was real too, according to early records which report his presence in the famous portrait. There is no record of the apocalyptic battle with Hobgoblin.

We can look at that, and Sham's subsequent exile to Wicken Fen, as symbolic of the prejudice felt by the complacent English toward this relatively small, strange-looking newcomer. The truth is that Sham did mate with Lady Roxane and sired Lath. He sired 116 others in his long lifetime. With all the interest in Seabiscuit of late, one would like to point out that as a direct descendant of Man O'War, he was also a direct descendant of the Godolphin Arabian. Just another horse who seemed worthless, but was not, and came from behind to prove the superiority of Arabian blood. Look up "Davenport Arabians" to learn more about this proud line. By Terrie on August 31, 2001 Format: Hardcover This book was given to me when I was barely eight years old, almost thirty years ago. I learned how to read books that took more than one sitting with "King of the Wind". The story is of a mute Morrocan stable boy, Agba, and a foal, Sham, who is born to one of the royal mares Agba cares for.

Sham...and Agba...are selected to be part of a gift to the King of France. Their adventures in Europe are filled mostly with despair and cruelty, until Sham sires a foal that becomes the beginnings of the Thoroughbred breed we know today (this part is true; Sham was renamed "The Godolphin Arabian"; all Thoroughbreds must include in their pedigreeone of the three specific founding sires, and the Godolphin Arabian is one of them). There's a lot here: adventure, triumph over adversity, a respect for other cultures, the care of the creatures that share our lives, and a healthy dose of humor about the absurdities of the powerful or elite. As a kid, I eagerly devoured any Marguerite Henry book I could find. It's well worth it to get hard-cover editions that include the wonderful full-color illustrations by Wesley Dennis. By Hannah Long on April 26, 2001 Format: Hardcover .... Marguerite Henry's novel King of the Wind is a beautiful story of a horse and his faithful groom. Throughout the novel the boy and the horse suffer through triumphs and tribulations. Their struggles are in silence, however, because the boy cannot speak.

By making the boy a mute, Marguerite Henry makes the reader aware of the emotional aspect of the book. The audience is able to sympathize with the characters as the book progresses. The story begins in Morocco where Sham, the horse, is born in the Sultan's stable. Agba, the mute boy, is in charge of taking care of Sham. The Sultan decides to send the King of France a gift of six of his finest stallions, of which Sham is one. He commands the six grooms to remain with their mounts until the horses die, then return to Morocco. The trip is a disaster and five of the horses are returned to Morocco. Sham is kept to be used as a carthorse because of his fiery temper. He is sold many times and is forced to endure many hardships. Throughout all of his ordeals Agba is there taking care of him. The story ends when Sham is bought by the Earl of Godolphin and becomes the founding sire of the English racehorse. Nearly every Thoroughbred today can be traced back to the Godolphin Arabian. The story brings out feelings from the audience and Henry captures this emotion in Agba. Agba and Sham are the best of friends.

No one can do anything with the horse if the boy is not around. Neither the boy or the horse can communicate verbally and this makes their emotions even more acute in the book. Their pain and suffering were made even worse by the fact that they couldn't explain to their tormentors what was happening. Henry does a wonderful job of putting the reader in the boy's position. It is very frustrating to want to tell someone something so bad, but not be able to. Portraying Agba as a normal speaking boy would have ruined the story. It forces the reader to feel the boy's pain and frustration rather than just reading about it. On page 169 the narrator states, "For the first time in his life, he was glad he could not talk. Words would have spoiled everything. They were shells that cracked and blew away in the wind. He and Sham were alike. That is why they understood each other so deeply". The bond between the horse and the boy would not have been nearly as strong and compelling if Agba communicated verbally. As mentioned in Dr. Allen's article some studies have suggested that people with speech disabilities can have bonds with animals that are as strong as past friendships with other people.

These most frequently perceived aspects of animal-human relationships were described as companionship, emotional bond, usefulness, loyalty and the quality of needing no negotiation. Agba and Sham could communicate with each other even though they could not communicate with the rest of the world. This special bond between horse and boy brings the story to life. This story is a beautiful version of the story of the Godolphin Arabian. Portraying Agba as a mute gives the reader the opportunity to feel and experience what the boy and the horse both feel. Had the boy been able to talk this story would not have been nearly as effective or interesting. The bond the horse and boy share is unlike any other a normal speaking human could possess with an animal. Because Henry chose to take away the power of speech from the boy and the horse the reader has gained a wealth of emotion and feeling in this novel. King of the Wind: The Story of the Godolphin Arabian by Marguerite Henry, Wesley Dennis |, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® Meet the author Overview He was named "Sham" for the sun, this golden-red stallion born in the Sultan of Morocco's stone stables. Upon his heel was a small white spot, the symbol of speed.

But on his chest was the symbol of misfortune. Although he was swift as the desert winds, Sham's pedigree would be scorned all his life by cruel masters and owners. This is the classic story of Sham and his friend, the stable boy Agba. their adventures take them from the sands of the Sahara. to the royal courts of France, and finally to the green pastures and stately homes of England. For Sham was the renowned Godolphin Arabian, whose blood flows through the veins of almost very superior thoroughbred. Sham's speed  like his story  has become legendary. Advertising Read an Excerpt Excerpt That same fair summer's day, Sham was lying in his stall at the Red Lion. He no longer needed to be shackled. No one feared him anymore. He was too weak to kick and charge. For weeks he had lived in a kind of daze, willing to lie on his bed of straw and let the world go on about him. Over the half door of his stall he could hear the rattle of pewter cups in the inn and listen to the comings and goings of horses and journeymen. He caught the mingled smell of dust and sweat when the horses came in.

He caught the rain smells and heard the first drops beat out a mournful medley on the roof over his head. He snuffed the winds. But he was no longer a part of the smells and the sounds. Mister Williams shook his head sadly every time he passed Sham's stall. "That there 'orse, 'e's got a gnawin' pull inside 'im. 'E's missin' that boy." On this summer's afternoon the sound made by Mistress Williams banging her pots and pans was suddenly muffled by the thunder of hooves and the rumble of wheels. Lying half-awake, half-asleep, Sham heard the other horses in their stalls neigh a greeting to the newcomers. He heard the high, scrabbling voice of Mistress Williams. Then a silence broken by many footsteps and the low laughter of a gentle woman. The next thing he knew the door of his stall was thrown open, a feather-light creature was by his side, and a boy's slim brown fingers were stroking his neck. Sham touched Agba's cheek with his feelers, as if to make sure of him. Then an excited whicker escaped him. He lipped the boy. He swiped his cheek with a great pink tongue.

He tasted the warm, salty tears. Thenhe neighed his happiness to the whole wide world. Thrusting his forefeet in front of him, he struggled to his feet. Lying down was no way to greet friends! He shuddered the straw from his coat as if to apologize for his lack of grooming. A change came over him. He snorted at the half-circle of people about him, at the handsome gentleman in wine-colored velvet, at the lady in silk and gold lace, at the innkeeper and his wife standing at a respectful distance. His eyes came back to Agba. "Let us be off!" he seemed to say. "Somewhere. Anywhere!" The Earl of Godolphin laughed in agreement. Then he exchanged a few quiet words with Mister Williams and the arrangements to buy Sham were quickly made. In no time at all Agba and Grimalkin were mounted on Sham, while a gathering of all the chance droppers-in at the Red Lion gawped curiously at the coach-and-six, and at the hooded boy and the tiger cat who sat a well-mannered bay horse. Mister Williams' eyebrows were traveling up and down at a great rate.

"Split my windpipe!" he said to a journeyman who had once been tossed off by Sham, "it hain't the same beast, I tell ye! 'E hain't stubborn nor vicious at all. 'E and the boy are all of one color, and all of one mind. They can't wait to go! D'you know," he exclaimed, slapping the man on the back, "that 'orse-'e's got brains!" The Earl leaned his head out of the coach window. "We will lead the way up to Gog Magog," he called to Agba. "Our pace will be slow to accommodate the weakened condition of your mount." And he smiled a little smile of encouragement. If the road to the hills of Gog Magog had been the road to the garden of heaven, the three silent creatures could not have been happier. It seemed as if the green meadows and the woodlands and clear streams had been created for them alone. The sun warmed their backs. The wind blew for their pleasure. They sucked it deep into their lungs. It washed them free. Agba was almost sorry when the driver of the coach pulled to a stop before a gate surmounted by the crest of a dolphin.

He wished the ride could go on forever. The Duchess, however, seemed glad the journey was over. "I declare, my lad," she sighed, leaning her head wearily against the gilded frame of the coach window, " you and your mount and your kitling appear fresher than when you started." Now the gate was opened by two men in livery, and the coach-and-six led the way over a bridge and up a gentle hill between yews and hawthorn trees to the stables of the Earl of Godolphin. Agba could not believe his eyes. It was the stable, not the house, that crowned the hill, and there was a stream encircling the hill where mares and their foals were drinking. He jumped to his bare feet. The turf was soft and springy. The green grass tickled up between his toes. He touched Sham's white spot with his toe. The white spot! The white spot! Here, at last, Sham could fulfill the promise it held.

Grimalkin, who had settled into the saddle in great dignity, now cuffed Agba with his paw, as much as to say, " Mind your manners, the Earl is headed this way." Agba stood at attention, but he could not keep his shining eyes from gathering in the whole scene: the long range of box stalls opened to the south sun, the shady paddock, the park for a training ground. Why, there were no walls anywhere! Only green hedges afar off, where the meadows came to an end. And rows of elm trees brushing the clouds. And willows trailing their fingers in the stream. An exercise boy came into the yard with a string of running horses. Their haunches gleamed in the sun. Agba drew a quick breath. Soon Sham's coat would be sleek and shining, too. Soon Sham would be the wind beneath the sun. Soon he would be showing his gratitude to the Earl  winning races, bringing honor to Gog Magog. Agba's thoughts were cut short. A spidery man with a waggish air about him was presenting himself to the Earl of Godolphin. "A very g-g-good morning, your lordship," he stuttered.

And as he bowed he took an appraising look at the underfed horse, the strangely dressed boy, and the tiger cat sitting the horse with a superior grin. The Earl of Godolphin followed his glance. "Twickerham," he said, " I have brought you a new horse-boy, and this is his little bay stallion. Ill luck has dogged their footsteps. They have traveled a hard road and a long one. From henceforward they will be in your charge." For only an instant a cloud darkened the groom's face. "Very g-good, your lordship," he said. The Earl dismissed the coach and turned to Agba. "I once read a novel laid in Morocco," he said. "The characters had curious names, curious to me, of course. There was El Hayanie and Hamed 0 Bryhim and one was Agba. Since I have to call you by some name I shall choose the shortest one: Agba. I desire you to give me your opinion of this name by the strength of your handclasp." With his head groom standing by in open-mouthed amazement, the Earl of Godolphin, son of the Lord Treasurer of England, held out his hand to Agba.

The small brown hand and the long-fingered white one met, and there was such a wringing clasp between them that the Earl's face broke into a great smile. Agba smiled, too. If only the Earl knew! He had chosen the name that was already the boy's own. "Agba," he said, "you will be in the care of my head groom, Mister Titus Twickerham. He is breeder and trainer for the Gog Magog stables. I hope and pray that you will be happy." Agba bowed first to the Earl and then to the groom, blinking hard to keep away the tears of happiness. The Earl of Godolphin now cleared his throat and fingered his neck cloth a trifle uneasily. "Twickerham," he hesitated, "what think you of the merits of the stallion?" The groom searched the Earl's face, trying to read his feelings there. Seeing only an open countenance, he rocked back and forth on his heels in importance. Then he approached Sham's head. Instantly Sham nosed the sky. Mister Twickerham reached for the bridle.

He tried to force Sham's head down, but it was only with Agba's help that he could look into the horse's mouth. He tried to lift a hoof, but Sham's legs were pillars driven into the earth. Yet with only a feather touch, Agba lifted a foot as easily as if it were Grimalkin's paw. Red of face, Titus Twickerham stepped back. He measured the horse with his eyes. From withers to hoof. From withers to tail. Again and again he measured. He noted the scars on the horse's knees. Then he pursed his lips. "Your I-lordship," he began, "this-here beast would be the laughing stock at the race-c-c-course. He's not lusty enough to endure the distances. With the b-best care in the kingdom he'd still be a broken-kneed cob. And!" here Mister Twickerham pointed a thin forefinger, while his face gave out the faintest suggestion of a sneer, "If your lordship will k-kindly note the height of the crest, he will see 'tis almost a deformity.

"To my mind," he concluded, enjoying the importance of the moment, "this ain't a running horse, and d-d-don't let nobody tell your lordship that he'd make a good sire, either. Colts with him for a father would be violent tempered and weedy as c-c-cattails." The Earl of Godolphin did not change expression. For long seconds he stood perfectly still. "If this be true," he said at last, "feed him until he loses his gaunt look. Then we'll see what's to be done with him. Perhaps he can work the machine that pumps water into the fish pond." Agba looked at the Earl aghast. Was Sham, the pride of the Sultan's royal stables, never to have a chance to prove himself? Was he always to be a work horse?

"(The story of) the fiery Arabian stallion of unquenchable spirit who became one of the most famous horses of all time - the almost legendary Godolphin Arabian.

He was names 'Sham' for the sun, this golden-red stallion born in the great stone stables of the Sultan of Morocco. Upon his heel was the white spot - symbol of speed; but upon his chest was the mark of the wheat ear - a sign of misfortune. And these two signs seemed to govern his life. Swift he was, swift as the wind, but time after time disaster almost overtook him. Beginning at the Sultan's court, the story sweeps across France and then into England, one exciting incident following fast upon another with the changing fortunes of the royal-blooded horse and the slim brown horseboy who cares for him."

Bookseller Inventory # 27472 King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry | LibraryThing AZG1001 | Mar 31, 2016 | He was named "Sham" for the sun, this golden red stallion born in the Sultan of Morocco's stone stables. Upon his heel was a small white spot, the symbol of speed. But on his chest was the symbol of misfortune. Although he was as swift as the desert winds, Sham's proud pedigree would be scorned all his life by cruel masters and owners. This is the classic story of Sham and his friend, the stable boy Agba. Their adventures take them from the sands of the Sahara to the royal courts of France and, finally, to the green pastures and stately homes of England. For Sham was the renowned Godolphin Arabian, whose blood flows through the veins of almost every superior Thoroughbred. Sham's speed-like his story-has become legendary. childhood favorite re-visited. Is the story as good as I remember? – Yes What ages would I recommend it too? – All ages.

Children will enjoy the single storyline; while adults enjoy an easy afternoon read (especially while waiting on a bus, show, doctor, or other appointments). Length? – Reasonable for an afternoon. Characters? – Memorable, several characters. Setting? – Real world, Historical times. Written approximately? – 1948. Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Yes! The reader really begins to feel for the character. How was he received when he returned home? Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? None. ( ) AprilBrown | Feb 25, 2015 | When I was a preteen, I read several books by Marguerite Henry, but not King of the Wind. I probably didn't want to read it because the main human character is a boy. But now I have read it, and in my estimation it is a beautifully-written and illustrated story about the deep bond between a mute, parentless stable boy and an extraordinary stallion. The two, along with their cat companion Grimalkin, experience many hardships that would have defeated weaker souls, but they triumph in the end.

That the ending is ultimately happy may seem a little predictable (this is a children's book after all), but it is uplifting all the same.

Author Bio ▼▲ Marguerite Henry was the beloved author of such classic horse stories as King of the Wind, Misty of Chincoteague, and Stormy: Mistys Foal, all of which are available in Aladdin paperback editions. Wesley Dennis was best known for his illustrations in collaboration with author Marguerite Henry. They published sixteen books together.

Editorial Reviews Marguerite Henry Readalong – King of the Wind | She Moved to Texas She Moved to Texas Marguerite Henry Readalong – King of the Wind Marguerite Henry Readalong – King of the Wind By 13 Bel Joeor had this great idea to do a Marguerite Henry readalong blog hop, which I am 100% down for. MH books are basically synonymous with my childhood, so I was eager to participate in the first choice – King of the Wind. First though, let me give you some background. I like Marguerite Henry. She almost exclusively wrote horse books, and horse books are my jam. I literally cannot count how many equestrian young adult fiction novels I have read… even way past my young adult years. While I like MH, I love Wesley Dennis. Wesley Dennis is an illustration god. I would die to own one of his original works. One of the quinessential books from my childhood is The Illustrated Marguerite Henry because it’s filled with full page, Wesley Dennis illustrations. Which leads me to my first (of many) gripes about King of the Wind.

This is the original cover of King of the Wind: Beautiful, classy and just the right amount of ‘hot’ arab. That’s the cover on my early 90’s version of the book. Note: not painted by Wesley Dennis… therefore sub par. Still, at least it’s a bay Arabian and it has the little golden bag around his neck from the story. I don’t like this cover at all compared to the original, but it’s okay. This is the current cover from Amazon. WTF. Wtf is that. That horse is chestnut. It looks like a Padron’s Psyche nightmare gone terribly wrong. It looks like it’s been plastic surgeried to death. Why oh why is this considered a tasteful update from the Wesley Dennis original? To compare, see the original Godolphin Arabian: Ugh. In protest, the rest of this post I will be including the beautiful illustrations from the original copy of this book… that my cheap paperback did not have 🙁 Okay, so my big beef with King of the Wind besides the illustration trend shown above, is that this is essentially a retelling of Black Beauty.

Now, Black Beauty is one of my favorite books and I consider it one of the early true animal rights pieces… but it’s the kind of cherished story that doesn’t need to be rehashed with a slightly different spin. The true story of the Godolphin Arabian is pretty damn interesting, so the liberties Marguerite Henry took with it are a bit over the top in my opinion. Especially the last part when he’s banished to the bog… wut? Am I really supposed to believe that a tween boy, a full grown stallion and a cat survived essentially spearing fish for several years? I know this is a book for kids, and that’s too far in my opinion. I also think the Hobgoblin stuff is idiotic. True story? Godolphin Arabian was used as a teaser stallion, and when Lady Roxana rejected Hobgoblin, they allowed the Arabian to mate her instead. That doesn’t make for as much compelling drama, but it makes a lot more sense than a well trained groom letting his beloved horse go fight another stallion. I’m sounding hard on this book, but it’s still a good read.

I read and root for Sham’s greatness to be recognized just like I’m sure many of you did. For many King of the Wind is a treasured classic, but I’m just not in that bunch. There are some other, lesser known Henry greats that hopefully we’ll be reading next that I really, really love. Have you read King of the Wind? More importantly, don’t you think the crazy chestnut arab illustration should go away?!?

" Georgi Norris | 2/7/2014 " Marguerite Henry's stories about horses are timeless, and as a child, I devoured any one of her books that I could get my hands on. This book is great for young readers, and teaches one about perseverance, trust, and hope. A fictionalized account of a true story, it is a book that every young horse lover should have in their library. " Bilboislove | 2/6/2014 " when i was younger i LOVED any book that had to do with horses and this was one of my favorites!

i deffinately recommend this to everyone out there who loves horse books as much i do :] " Cami Putnam | 1/31/2014 " I grew up riding horses and this is a true story about the horse I grew up riding's great grand father.

They always wanted to me keep reading 'just one more chapter to find out what happens to Sham!' " Jessica | 11/9/2013 " Pretty good book. I always love horses. " Chad Strong | 5/30/2013 " Loved this book when I was a kid -- read it over and over! " Maria | 5/12/2013 " Reminded me of why I liked horse books as a kid. My third grade teacher read us Misty.

The Arabian history is enchanting :) " Mindy | 10/6/2012 " I found this book rather depressing. It was ok I guess but it just didn't do anything for me.

It's been a long time since I read it last. " Lisa | 4/6/2011 " Does anyone write horse stories like Marguerite Henry? No library is without horse lovers and I think her work is timeless if you can convince kids to look past the dated covers. For younger kids, these would work well if an adult would read them to them. " M. | 2/23/2011 " I read it, but I don't like horse stories all that much, so I don't remember much about it, nor was I terribly impressed by it. " Chris | 2/20/2011 " I read this when I was a kid, and just read it again after watching "Secretariat". It is still just as good a story now as it was then. A must-read for every horse lover.

" Laura | 2/12/2011 " I read this book countless times as a horse-crazy child. Like most Henry books, the writing is well done and the story more than a mere horse-crazy tale. This is a true classic. " Claudia | 1/28/2011 " I still have my copy from when I was a child. " Autumn | 1/24/2011 " This book is exciting and thrilling. It is about a boy named Agba with his horse Sham when they get sent it Londan. When they arrive Sham is very skinny and nobody wants him except as a cart carrier. " Darby | 1/5/2011 " I still think this is one of the best "horse" books ever. The illustrations of Arabian horses will take your breath away. " Jen | 12/26/2010 " I enjoyed reading this book again...almost 30 years later. I'm such a horse lover and it was my fondest dream for so many years to be a horse racing jockey, so this book is especially meaningful.

Its also sad, a couple times I had to hold back the tears while reading it to the kids. They loved it.
